Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting dry the boneless skinless chicken thighs with paper towels. This ensures a perfect sear when cooked.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add a splash of oil to prevent sticking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Prepare the cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch with water in a small bowl until there are no lumps.
  5. Carefully place the dried chicken thighs into the skillet and sear for 5–7 minutes on each side.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the seared chicken, reduce heat to medium, and let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Stir the cornstarch slurry and add it to the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until thickened.
  8. Remove from heat and serve the chicken hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
